OPCNAIRALAND:
Ereko was derived from Erekusi.

Eko, Ereko and Erekusi are all words for farm.

Binis did not come to Lagos to farm but when they got there Island was already a farmland called Erekusi by the Aworis across the lagoon at Ido, Oto, Apa and Ijora.

Erekusi later became Ereko and then Eko. Apa later became Apapa.

wytecat:
According to my granny

Ereko = Everglades

Erekosu = Island

And these are corrupted to Eko.

OPCNAIRALAND:


Your name for Lagos and mine are not different.
Iyepe and Erupe are cognates.

Whatever we call it, we have established firmly and conclusively that Lagos had a known indigenous name and was adopted by the settling Binis.

Biafrans are too ashamed.to respond. Their attempt.to snatch Lagos is not working.

Lol why are you guys being reactive to the phlegm the red mud people come here to spit. Have you forgotten there's life outside nairaland? have you forgotten this is a faceless forum where i can even claim Jesus christ was born in nnewi? this thread is not needed in my opinion.A lion does not concern himself with the opinion of a sheep. when push comes to shove, body go tell them. Have you forgotten elegushi,oniru,onikoyi,Ayangburen, Alara,olorogun,olumegbon and the likes still exist? The kings of these places can in minutes get rid of all the gypsies in their vicinity. highest thing them go write articles just like they've always done . Fashola's own is even small, when the time comes, they will know we're truly yellowbar cowards and that there's more to Lagos other than nairaland comments/chest-beating

OPCNAIRALAND:


Our silence in the past and naively dismissing their online insults has achieved only one thing....their entrenched resolve and belief that Yoruba is not the owner of Lagos.

Each ethnic group has its monopoly in the affairs of man and society in this country. Yoruba monopolises politics and with little effort put on ground we are naturally endowed with ability to bring about a tsunami of social overhaul and redirection. We have done this repeatedly .....even before the Independence of Nigeria.

The Ibos have a monopoly of chatter. They are naturally gifted with the ability to speak tenaciously and convincingly to whittle down whatever truths their opponents bring forth. In the carelessness of their targeted opponents, their lies often become the truth.

Yoruba leaders have studied them and discovered this strength and formulated a way to water it down and kill it from forming.

Some of us online are not here because we love social media. We are here to purposely humiliate Ibo and destroy his monopoly on noise.....and trust me, we have done a fantastic job in the past 2years...not just in Nairaland, but all over the internet.

In Nairaland alone, we have killed Ibo's ownership of Olaudah Ekuanoh, an Etsako slave falsely claimed as Ibo. The one that truly shook the country was the mystery behind the Queen's visit in 1956 and the role.played by Sir Ojukwu and his phantom Rolls Royce.
God bless those guys called mythbuster. Even the National Archives had to take note and correct its records. Can you believe? A whole national institution vested with the duty of keeping historical records was sold a phantom story by Ibo and they believed it and entered it into record.

So, no my friend....you do what you are here to do, enjoy and be entertained...and allow us to do our job of keeping Yoruba records safe and credible from Ibo falsehood.

Peace!

That would make Oba Akiolu a Bini descendant. So where were your leaders to remind him he was from Bini and not Lagos when he threatened ti fill Lagoon with Ibos
